OPA Retreats are a multi-dimensional experience: from small group immersions, to conference style presentations, nature and community, you stay focused and inspired the whole time.

Part of the retreat involves immersing yourself for three days in a track of your choice. You work with a highly skilled track leader and a small group of peers (max 10 people) for a total of fifteen hours! We go deep... See below the link to the list of tracks offered or click to view the brochure (above link).

Theme of the Retreat: The Art of Living and Dying

This year theme is inspired by the transit of Jupiter in Scorpio: The Art of Living and Dying. How does death serves a good life, and what is in the art of living and dying.

On Day 1, five presenters discuss in turn the Art of Living and Dying and different chart associations related to this theme. Later on, the whole audience breaks into small groups to contemplate this theme, with the opportunity to look at group participant's chart to further exploring the theme.

Four additional short presentations of 30 minutes on this theme are scheduled on Day 2 & 3. These include: "Using the Death Chart as a Counseling Tool," "The Dark Side of Jupiter," "Death and Rebirth in the Chart: Not just Pluto's Game," and "What does Pluto want from us."
